Yes, the delayed Nuvifone is still scheduled to come out in the first half of 2009. There's no carrier or price announcement yet—Garmin says they are in active negotiations with GSM carriers in North America (so, AT&T and T-Mobile) and in Europe—but now it will be named the Garmin-Asus Nuvifone G60, and will be the first in a line of Garmin-Asus smartphones. It will be on display and ready for groping at next month's Mobile World Congress (formerly known as 3GSM).

The very next smartphone Garmin-Asus plans to launch will not be an Android phone, negating the "Eee Phone" talk recently coming out of the Asus camp. Rather, it will be a phone running another "major platform." I am guessing that means Windows Mobile, but there's no telling which version, 6.1, 6.5 or 7. It will be revealed at Mobile World Congress (formerly known as 3GSM) next month.

Regarding Android, Garmin-Asus is "committed to building" a phone that runs it, as both companies are members of Google's Open Handset Alliance. Garmin rumors have suggested the phone may possibly even come out in 2009. But according to our current reporting, it's just not next.

The new brand will represent a strategic alliance covering all smartphone business for both Garmin and Asus. It won't be a separate new company, like Sony Ericsson, but any smartphone that comes out from either company will be co-branded and bear the Nuvifone name. This deal seems like it leverages the manufacturing core and global reach of Asus with Garmin's skill at developing sturdy portable products with smart user interfaces. Also, the branding is limited. Anything not relating to smartphones is "business as usual" for the two companies.

It also makes it clear that Garmin is done toeing the water of the cellphone business, and is ready to jump in, holding the hand of Asus. The only casualty here is probably going to be the G60. If it were Garmin's only offering, maybe people who love Garmin would go for it, but now, even those Garmin lovers know that better cooler things are coming—with choices from Windows Mobile and Android. Here's hoping the G60 is cheap and village-idiot simple. [Garmin-Asus]

Update: Here's the official press release:

Garmin® and ASUS® to Create Garmin-Asus Line of Co–branded LBS-centric Mobile Phones

Cayman Islands and Taipei, Taiwan/February 4, 2009/Business Wire — Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN) and ASUSTeK Computer Inc. (TAIEX: 2357) today announced a strategic alliance that will leverage the companies’ navigation and mobile telephony expertise to design, manufacture and distribute co-branded location-centric mobile phones. Garmin and ASUS have already begun joint development on a diverse mobile phone product line, which will be known as the Garmin-Asus nüvifone™ series. The companies expect to bring to market several Garmin-Asus nüvifone models in 2009, and a new Garmin-Asus nüvifone model will be announced at the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona, Spain, February 16-19, 2009.

“We believe that converged devices are an emerging opportunity,” said Dr. Min Kao, chairman and CEO of Garmin Ltd. “This alliance is advantageous to both companies because it allows us to combine our resources and establish a strong foundation from which we will innovate and introduce the world to the benefits of LBS-centric mobile phones. We’ve been working with ASUS for over one year on the initial nüvifone that was announced in 2008 on the basis of an ODM relationship. Learning from this experience, we concluded that by leveraging and combining our respective industry-leading areas of expertise at a higher level, we will be able not only to significantly expand our product line, but also to shorten our product development time. We believe that through this strategic alliance we are uniquely positioned to deliver the world’s best integrated and most compelling GPS-enabled mobile devices.”

“This alliance allows ASUS and Garmin to seamlessly combine the strengths of both companies to offer market leading mobile phone solutions that are of the best design and highest quality. ASUS and Garmin both believe strongly in the continuous investment of R&D resources to unfailingly provide leading-edge innovations to people and businesses,” said Jonney Shih, CEO of ASUSTeK Computer Inc. “Through this alliance, our companies will continue to develop innovations that simplify life. Our technologies should accommodate our customers, not the other way around. We believe all devices should perform and communicate seamlessly not just anytime and anyplace, but in real time, in real places, and we’re confident the nüvifone series will meet this objective.”

All Garmin-Asus nüvifone devices will continue the product vision of the original nüvifone and will be LBS-centric devices that seamlessly connect, communicate and navigate. The original Garmin nüvifone that was announced in 2008 will be re-branded as the Garmin-Asus nüvifone G60. The Garmin-Asus nüvifone G60 is expected to be delivered in the first half of 2009, and additional information about the Garmin-Asus nüvifone G60 will be released at the Mobile World Congress trade show.

LBS functionality is core to the Garmin-Asus nüvifone series, which will offer the same
turn-by-turn, voice-prompted navigation features found on high-end Garmin portable navigation devices (PND). It has preloaded maps and millions of points of interest that allow drivers to quickly find a specific street address, establishment’s name or search for a destination by category. In addition, the nüvifone includes quick access to online points of interest through internet enabled local search. The nüvifone harnesses the power of the worldwide web and information about local merchants and attractions is continually updated. The nüvifone also features Ciao!™, a social networking application that bridges the gap between multiple location based social networks and integrates them seamlessly into one device.

The Garmin-Asus alliance was disclosed during a press conference in Taiwan on February 4, 2009. Analysts or journalists unable to attend the Garmin-Asus announcement in Taiwan are invited to participate in a webcast or via phone on February 4, 2009, at 11:00 am EST
(10:00 am CST). Webcast details are available at www.GarminAsus.com/pressroom.

Garmin-Asus nüvifone models will be on display at the Garmin-Asus booth at the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona, Spain, February 16-19, 2009 (7C37, hall 7). Journalists should contact the Garmin or Asus media contacts to arrange a live demonstration or interviews. Additional information is available at www.GarminAsus.com.

About Garmin and ASUS
Garmin is the global leader in satellite navigation, and has sold more than 43 million devices. Currently celebrating its 20th anniversary, Garmin has pioneered navigation and communication devices that enrich people’s lives. Garmin’s market breadth in the GPS industry is second to none having developed innovative products and established market leadership position in each of the markets it serves, including automotive, aviation, marine, fitness, outdoor recreation and wireless applications. Garmin achieved the worldwide number one spot for mobile navigation devices in 2007 by more than doubling its shipments on 2006 and increasing its market share. According to research conducted by Canalys, a leading independent technology market analyst firm, in the third quarter of 2008 Garmin held 35 percent of the worldwide PND market with an approximately 50 percent share in the U.S. and a 20 percent share in Europe.

Garmin has been on the leading edge of mobile phone navigation having launched several products into the mobile market including Garmin Mobile off-board navigation and Garmin Mobile XT, an on-board navigation solution. First announced in 2005, Garmin Mobile off-board navigation was the first server-based navigation application to visually depict and constantly update the user’s position on a detailed moving map. These navigation applications include access to dynamic, location-relevant content like traffic reports, fuel prices, flight status and weather information. Garmin’s on-board and off-board navigation solutions have been adopted by numerous mobile phone manufacturers and network operators, and are currently available on over 500 different phone models.

ASUS is a technology leader in the IT industry and offers everything from PC components to complete solutions including notebooks, desktops, smart phones, PDAs, broadband communications products, LCD monitors and wireless applications. ASUS is recognized worldwide for the Eee PC™, an ultramobile PC noted for its combination of light weight and ease of use. In 2007, one in three desktop PCs sold was powered by an ASUS motherboard; and ASUS has been the fastest growing notebook brand for the past eight consecutive quarters, ranking fifth in the world in Q3 2008. The company's 2008 revenues reached $8.2 billion (U.S. dollars). Through its unyielding commitment to innovation and quality, ASUS has won numerous international awards. ASUS has been ranked amongst BusinessWeek’s InfoTech 100 for 11 consecutive years, placing ninth in 2008. ASUS has also achieved the number one title in the annual league table of Taiwan Top 10 Global Brands IT Hardware category with a brand value of $1.324 billion (U.S. dollars).

ASUS is a rising contender in the design, manufacture and distribution of mobile phones, and has exclusive intellectual property rights in 3G core technologies. These 3G technologies are paving the way for 4G in the near future. With over 800 employees devoted to R&D and business development for smart phones, ASUS has successfully launched phones in 20 countries with major operators such as Vodafone, O2, Orange and TIM. ASUS’ telecom industry footprint has grown significantly since the company introduced its first PDA in 2001 and mobile phone in 2004. Today, ASUS is recognized as one of the top three Windows Mobile brands in Russia and Eastern Europe. With stylish facades and excellent user interfaces, ASUS phones have passed strict design criteria to win the Japanese G-Mark Design and German iF Awards — accolades that position ASUS as a leader in mobile phone design.

The two styles may seem familiar to you, as demonstrated by my totally fake images above. One, we'll call "iPhone," is described by the Wall Street Journal as "a touchscreen but no physical keyboard." The other, which we'll call "Pre," is a "slider-style phone with a keypad and that slides from beneath the screen." Dell is reportedly exploring both Windows Mobile and Android, and has both operating systems running on its prototypes. The WSJ cites those always helpful "people familiar with the matter," and says the formal move into the phone market could happen as early as February, perhaps just in time for the 3GSM global phone biz show in Barcelona on the 15th.

As I so subtly alluded, Dell has been in the smartphone business, or at least rumored to be, for some time. We heard about an impending smartphone in April 2007, then again in December 2007, solidifying last January before being quickly smashed down again.

Just two weeks ago, the rumors surfaced again, as analyst extraordinaire Shaw Wu predicted Dell would do the Android secret handshake, publicly, at 3GSM. So the Journal report confirms these rumors, with solid substantiation. (Let's just hope the "people familiar with the matter" don't all turn out to be Shaw Wu wearing wigs and fake moustaches.)

As the Journal states, the most likely peg for this happening soon, and reason for the delay up till now, is that Ron Garriques, former head of the cell business at Motorola, can finally build phones for Dell. He left the burning building in Libertyville Schaumburg, IL for the greener pastures of Round Rock, TX under a noncompete clause that won't lift until...yep...next month. Garriques and his former Moto crony, John Thode—current head of netbooks and cheap PCs at Dell—are probably planning one heck of a comeback. If the combination of Dell and Motorola DNA doesn't render that completely impossible, that is. [WSJ]

Seriously, while the T-Mobile G1 leaves me completely in a blah state of mind, DSTL1 actually makes me horny in a "I wish this thing vibrates really hard" kind of way.

Look at it. It's like the Battlestar Galactica designers took the iPhone design and passed it through their Colony-Design-a-thon, adding angled corners to it but keeping the same black glass, chrome accents, black plastic, circular home button, ear speaker grill, and volume controls. The result is a design which looks extremely familiar to the public, yet adds enough changes to appeal to people who want something cool looking, but different. And with better specs too:

Impressive. Apparently the DSTL1 it will be at Barcelona's 3GSM in February and I will be there to see if all these features are the real thing and how much this beast will cost. But on paper and renderings, it may be the first phone that would make me drop my iPhone. The only "but" for me: It's 0.63 inches thick (16mm). Too much of a brick after being used to the ultra-thin iPhone. [General Mobil via Android Authority]

NTT DoCoMo D800iDS
Yeah, they're ripping off the Nintendo DS, but where else will you see a phone with two touch-screen displays. Unfortunately, the D800iDS was not only under glass, but it wasn't even turned on. Lame.

LG Prada
It doesn't get any sexier than this, folks. Miss Spain finalist. Prada. LG. Touch-screen display. Part of my heart will stay at the LG Barcelona booth forever.

Samsung F700
I arrived at 3GSM with dreams of holding the touch-screeny F700. Well, Samsung had a nice big bucket of ice waiting for me cause not only was the F700 a no-show, but they wouldn't even let me touch the prototype.

Samsung FGH-F520
The only company to smack me twice, Samsung's second slider, the F520, was also locked under glass, and no matter how many times I pleaded, they just weren't having it. The sucker remained under the glass (and turned off) during the entire show.

iMate Ultimate 7150
A full VGA screen, QWERTY keyboard, and WM6. This smartphone is oozing with style and power, but unfortunately the goons at iMate had it locked and secured, denying me a grope. – Louis Ramirez

No LG Prada phone for ex-Tampax model (and Miss Spain '03), Eva Gonzalez. – Louis Ramirez

And I kept getting a 4. Which means I'm either dead or in a coma. (Or my stank breath killed the machine). Back to the cervezeria. – Louis Ramirez

Nokia CK-15W Bluetooth Display Car Kit [newlaunches]

The JAQ4 doesn't have a VGA screen (QVGA), but it does come with built-in GPS, a QWERTY keyboard, an FM radio, and Windows Mobile 6. It's pretty lightweight, like the Moto Q, though not as thin. Looks-wise, it got hit with the ugly stick one too many times, but otherwise I've seen fuglier. Both the JAQ4 and the 7150 are expected to make their debut back home in the States in June.

Nokia Video Center Hands On [CrunchGear]

First off, the keyboard. I'm glad that HTC included one (unlike a lot of UMPCs out there that don't), but for me personally, the keyboard isn't as sturdy as I'd like it to be. The keys are nice and big, they're spaced evenly, but my problem is that it's awkward to use (mainly because of the way the keyboard juts out) and it takes me forever to type out a sentence on it. To be honest, I never got a comfortable grip with it.

Now the cool thing about the X7500 is that there's more than one way to navigate around the interface. Don't like the keyboard? Well, because it attaches to the display magnetically, you can easily fold it back against the display (the same way you'd fold the cover of a paperback) and use either the stylus or the little nipple ball (on the upper left corer) to navigate. I found this was a lot more comfortable and natural.

Another gripe. Weight. The X7500 ain't making any rounds on the gadget catwalk. In fact, I found that it was a lot chunkier in real life than it appears in photos. Your pants pocket is not where this phone will travel (no matter how baggy they are). It's almost like carrying an old school Game Boy (the black and white one). Overall, it's an impressive machine, no doubt. But for me it's one of those Frankenstein devices that's too big to be a killer smartphone and to small to be used as a laptop. – Louis Ramirez

The processor behind this concept phone is the GoForce 6100, a chip that Nvidia reps told me marries a GPU and CPU into one. House the 6100 inside a smartphone and you have enough horsepower to make every mobile out there weak in the knees. Nvidia says that the Quark is just the tip of the iceberg as to the kind of devices the 6100 can power. I say—if this is a sign of what's to come, I can't wait for the future. – Louis Ramirez

While it looks exactly like the phone of the moment, it doesn't appear to carry any identifying remarks, Prada logos, etc. Rumblings point to LG developing two different, near identical looking touchscreen phones: the Prada that we all know and love and a phone optimized for Windows Mobile 6. We'll have our man on the scene scrounge for more info on this little development. – Nicholas Deleon

My iPhone Exclusive: LG Prada running Windows Mobile 6! [My iPhone]

We consider that Apple copycat Prada phone after the design was unveiled when it was presented in the iF Design Award and won the prize in September 2006.

Let's just say they were both developed at around the same time and neither of them took significant design details from the other, shall we? – Jason Chen

LG R&D Head Officially Arguing "Apple Phone Copied Prada Phone" [Telecoms Korea via Textually]

10. Possio GRETA
When it comes to ballsy innovation, no touchscreen or banana phone beats this combination fax machine, printer, copier, scanner and cellphone in one. Why they painted it the color of maroon nail polish is a question that can probably only be answered by a regional manager for Dunder-Mifflin.

9. Motorola Q9
The Jay Leno chin is gone, the color is much, well, blacker, and it's a true global phone. Sometimes it's the little things that make all the difference.

8. RIM Blackberry 8800
The jury is still out on SureType, so RIM took all the best features of the Pearl (including the nipple-like navigator) and combined them with a full QWERTY keyboard. Crackberry-licious.Gallery.

7. Nokia 6110 Navigator
A GPS phone with 3.6 Mbps throughput will keep you one step ahead of pursuers, that's for sure. The $600 price tag, however, means that you are being chased by debt collectors. Gallery.

6. Samsung U100
Two words: Wafer thin. 5.9mm. Gallery.

5. LG Prada
The LG Prada is so hot right now it could take a crap, wrap it in tinfoil, put a couple fish hooks on it and sell it to Queen Elizabeth as earrings. It's going to be break-dance fighting with the Samsung U100 later tonight. Gallery.

4. Motorola Z8
A hinged slider phone that automatically switches into landscape mode? Everyone is going to want to try it once. Gallery.

3. Nokia N77
The great thing about Nokia is that they can take a bunch of features that everyone has seen before—mobile tv, push-to-talk, FM radio, micro SD slot—and freshen it up by turning the phone sideways. Gallery.

2. Samsung SGH-F520
This side-to-side and up-down slider with a touchscreen wins the award for the most iPhone-competitive handset at the show. Its Achilles heel? It will probably never be released outside of Korea.

1. Neonode N2
This phone, which uses an open software platform, probably has a snowball's chance in hell of being used outside of the homebrew mobile phone club. But the 3-inch tall, gesture-controlled phone is also a true harbinger of phones to come.

–Noah Robischon

There are a handful in various shapes and form-factors, but the most notable one could be the Asus Aries—an HTC Excalibur/Motorola Q-like device with a QWERTY on the bottom. It has WM6, f course, and Tri-band UMTS, a 2-megapixel camera, a scroll wheel (not like that lousy touchpad thing on the HTC Dash/Excalibur), a secondary camera on the front for video calls, and a 520Mhz XScale processor. It's impressive on paper, and should be an interesting alternative to HTC's offerings.

Check out the rest of the Asus phones in the gallery.

The interface is really easy to use—it's quick and responsive, but the screen picks up smudges way too fast. In fact, the model kept swiping it down every minute or so. The phone's also pretty lightweight, though not in a cheap way. One thing that struck me was that unlike the iPhone, the LG Prada lacks a bit of color. The reason? Well, according to LG, they deliberately made color minimal cause the monochrome interface complements the "Prada experience."

So what's the conclusion? This is definitely a worthy competitor to the iPhone that we should keep our eye on.

Motorola Z8 Hands On [CrunchGear]

If you're familiar with the first generation Motorola Q, you might notice the styling updates in these new models, too, where no longer do you see that big honking Jay Leno chin on the thing, and the keys look like they're little easier to navigate as well. And of course, there's that obvious difference, where this one is available in that oh so cool black color.

If only Motorola had released this design initially, perhaps we'd be a bit more fond of our Motorola Q. – Charlie White

Press Release [Motorola]

Say it with me: it'll be available in Europe next month, with a stateside release unlikely. –Adam Frucci

Press Release [Samsung]

Like all the other Ultra Edition II's, it's hitting Europe next month with no concrete plans to bring it over here. –Adam Frucci

Press Release [Samsung]

This one has the best chance of making it to the states due to its quad band connectivity, so keep your eyes peeled for it. It'll hit Europe next month first, you lucky Euros. –Adam Frucci

Press Release [Samsung]

First up is the Ultra Edition 5.9 (U100), the "world's thinnest" candybar that we showed you a while ago. It's got a nice 3-megapixel camera and looks like it'd snap in half if you kept it in the pocket of some tight jeans. It's gonna hit Europe in March, with the chances of it coming stateside not exactly hopeful. Just keep them fingers crossed. –Adam Frucci

Press Release [Samsung]

Nokia says it will give you 3.5 hours of talk time and GSM and 2.5 in 3G, but can stay on standby for 11 days if you keep your mouth shut. Should be rolling out in Q2, but it won't be cheap—with all these features packed into one little handset, it will cost you just shy of $600 without a contract.

Here's the stat splatter, and how that gesture system works.

The gesture control promises a screen free from softbutton clutter, and that it'll be all but unusable by anyone but those initiated into the neonode's cryptic control system.

The device claims to have an open software platform (meaning: won't be picked up by us providers anytime soon) and because it does calendar and address book synching via Activesync, we have a feeling it's built on a Windows platform.

I expected counterattacks to Apple's offering but how fast did this little company develop this thing? It's more than likely that they'd been planning this touchscreen offering for awhile now. Unless it's vapor. (Where are those real photos?)

I was watching the Queen Mary 2 pass under the Golden Gate Bridge last Sunday with Lisa and NY-transferee Joe Brown. (Joe, formerly of Pop Science, took over some of my old beats at Wired Mag after I left.) We were strolling down at Chrissy Field, talking bout work when the topic of 3GSM came up.

Joe asked, "You sending anyone?"

I replied that I didn't think it was going to be interesting enough.

Joe said, "You kidding? The iPhone knockoffs will be there."

I simply shook my head. It's been 6 weeks. Maybe they'll be ready at CTIA.

Then this Samsung phone hit the news on Thursday, boasting all the best features of the iPhone (kinda) but making up for the shortcomings with a qwerty keyboard. I forgot that making hardware like the iPhone is child's play for these megacorps.

The next day, Editor Louis Ramirez volunteered himself to Spain, with no hotel room. He's crafty, I'm sure he'll be fine. The important thing is that Louis is going to be bringing us some great hands on time with all the iPhone knockoffs. So stay tuned.

And Joe Brown, I owe you a beer.–Brian Lam

Nokia wants to jump start the mobile TV market, which up until now has really only taken off in Korea, if that. And no, we're not talking about downloading hot videoz picked out by your cellphone carrier, but actual programming. One problem seems to be that people just aren't that excited to watch video on their mobile devices if the screen isn't large enough. We should find out more once the Barça conference hits, hopefully with pretty pics of the phone, too. – Nicholas Deleon
